What is wrong if your home central air conditioner runs about 20 minutes and throws the breaker in the main control panel?

It could be caused by one of two things. Either the circuit is overloaded or the breaker is bad. First, make sure that nothing else is on that circuit. All central air conditioners require a separate electrical circuit. Next, you should check all the electrical connections to make sure they are tight. A loose connection will cause abnormally high current draw. Then you should make sure the condensing unit coil is clean. If the coil is dirty, it will cause elevated system pressures which will cause high current draw. Next, you should check the run capacitors in the ac unit to ensure that they are within 10% of the manufacturers rating. A capacitor that is going bad will cause high current draw. Now, you should check the recommended breaker size. It is listed on the label plate on the unit. If these steps do not solve the problem, the breaker could be going bad.


How long should you condition your hair for?

If it is an ordinary conditioner then you only need to leave it in for 2 minutes but if you are using a treatment or leave in conditioner you should have it in for 10-15 minutes. Don't put conditioner on the roots as this is new hair. Put it on the middle length and ends of your hair.

When air conditioner is turned on its keeps tripping the circuit breaker its on a 220 line?

Could be a fault with the air conditioner, or the circuit breaker isn't designed to work with it. Does it trip in the first few minutes when turned on? When powering up it draws a peak current, if the CB isn't designed to ignore temporary peak currents then it will think a fault is occurring and trip. You better also check the power cable from the breaker to the outside condensing unit. In my case, the cable was shorting intermittently to ground at the input clamp to the disconnect. Luckily I heard the zapping, then saw the damage, and easily repaired it.


What should you do if the breaker in a trailer keeps tripping after five minutes?

You should first check to see if you are not overloading the outlets. If you are, just unplug something and reset the breaker. However, this is also a symptom of circuit breaker failure. In that case, replace it with the same amperage breaker of the same or compatible brand.

Why does your main circuit breaker trip when your dryer runs 15 minutes Is it because your vent needs to be cleaned?

Could be but you could also have a weak breaker that will no longer hold the load of your dryer. That is if your talking about your dryer breaker tripping. If your "main breaker" is tripping you have a different problem. Call an electrician in that case. A plugged up dryer shouldn't be tripping your main
